May Contest: Hot Closets!

Our first contest!For Spring Cleaning month: a quick contest to give you all a chance to show off a part of your home that your guests don't usually get to see.

A well organized, uncrowded closet is a thing of beauty, and we know they are out there. Sometimes that means a spiffy system that's been custom-designed and built in, other times it's about careful editing and creative problem solving. We want to see all types of solutions, so don't be shy - be proud of your hard work.

Show us what you've got by noon on Monday, May 15. Your entry should include several good photos of your closet solution with a short writeup of your sources and tips. We'll be posting the best of the best throughout the month and will crown the king or queen of Spring Cleaning month at the end of May. The royal winner will recieve an Apartment Therapy t-shirt and an autographed copy of Maxwell's book (inscribed to the winner's closet, natch).

Email your entry with "CONTEST" in the subject line to chicago(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com.
